|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act is |
| 5 | | amended by changing Section 10 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (820 ILCS 260/10) |
| 7 | | Sec. 10. Break time for nursing mothers. An employer shall |
| 8 | | provide reasonable break time to an employee who needs to |
| 9 | | express breast milk for her nursing infant child each time the |
| 10 | | employee has the need to express milk for one year after the |
| 11 | | child's birth. The break time may run concurrently with any |
| 12 | | break time already provided to the employee. An employer shall |
| 13 | | compensate the employee during the break time at the |
| 14 | | employee's regular rate of compensation. An employer shall not |
| 15 | | require the employee to use paid leave during the break time or |
| 16 | | reduce the employee's compensation during the break time in |
| 17 | | any other manner. An employer may not reduce an employee's |
| 18 | | compensation for time used for the purpose of expressing milk |
| 19 | | or nursing a baby. An employer shall provide paid reasonable |
| 20 | | break time as needed by the employee unless to do so would |
| 21 | | create an undue hardship as defined by item (J) of Section |
| 22 | | 2-102 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. |
